20 - Recovery RECOVERY If you are having trouble with your computer, and the frequently asked questions (see Got a question? on page 54) do not help, you can recover your computer. This section describes the recovery tools available on your computer. Gateway provides Gateway Care Center, which allows you to reset your PC, refresh your PC, or create a factory default backup. If you cannot access Gateway Care Center, click Settings in the Start menu, select Update & Security and then click Recovery. Note Gateway Care Center vary depending on model or Operating System. Important We recommend that you create a Factory Default Backup as soon as possible. In certain situations a full recovery will require a USB recovery backup. Creating a factory default backup Recovery Management allows you to quickly and easily back up your operating system, installed apps and data. Note Since the recovery backup requires at least 8 GB of storage after formatting, it is recommended to use a USB drive with a capacity of 16 GB or larger.
